  • Add potato and carrot and pour half of the chicken broth. Let boil. Cover and cook in medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Add more broth if needed.
  • Sprinkle the flour all over the pot a tablespoon at a time. Stir and make sure that all ingredients are well blended.
  • Add the chopped boiled eggs and remaining chicken broth. Stir and cook until the desired thickness is achieved.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
  • Scoop the chicken pastel and put it in the bread cups. Top with grated or shredded cheese.
